Product Description
Medical Info
Zovorin-15 is a prescription medication containing Leucovorin Calcium, which is a biochemically active derivative of folic acid. While not a chemotherapy drug itself, it is crucially used in oncology for two distinct primary purposes. It acts as a “rescue” agent to protect healthy cells from the severe toxic effects of high-dose methotrexate therapy. Additionally, it is used to “potentiate” or enhance the cancer-killing effectiveness of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in treating certain malignancies, such as colorectal cancer. Zovorin-15 works by providing an advanced source of folic acid that bypasses certain metabolic blocks created by these chemotherapy drugs, helping to manage treatment-related toxicity while optimizing therapeutic outcomes.
